The Friendship Cafe aims to provide youth & community-based activities and services in a culturally-sensitive manner, focusing mainly on the inner city and surrounding areas of Gloucester, although our users are from diverse backgrounds all around the County, which means that we are used by hundreds of different people each week.

Our main users are minority communities, local residents and low-income families, isolated people, people with mental health issues, elderly people, people with disabilities and carers, vulnerable families and individuals, marginalized women, children, and young people. We have a small team of staff and dedicated volunteers and work alongside many local groups and several charitable and statutory organizations.

We also manage the St. James City Farm.
